What ​our sellers say

​I like selling through Felt because it is a ready made selling platform that is professional, uniquely kiwi, and easy to use. ​I love supporting local and, being a contributor, I get to tap into the established Felt customer base and enjoy the support that local network brings.

Opening my Felt shop was the single most important thing I did to take my (expensive) hobby to the next level. ​I have made over 1400 sales on Felt and have my stuff in various galleries around the country. I have done almost no marketing – it’s all thanks to my online presence on Felt.
